Describe the selected work.
For my work I selected the Ford Model T automobile. Produced from October 1
st
, 1908, to May
26
th
, 1927, the Model T was recognized as the first mass affordable automobile making car travel
available to the middle class. The Model T was introduced at a time when the alternative for
automobile travel was considered too expensive for the common man and far to unreliable for
the condition of the roadways at that time to be considered safe.
Describe the time period.
The Model T was introduced to the public when the only alternative was a far too expensive and
unreliable automobile. The first modern cars were made in Germany in 1885 by Karl Benz, and
the first American made automobile was made in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1893. The first
Model T was built on August 12
th
, 1908, a few years later the Model T was made available to the
public until May 26
th
, 1927.
Determine the culture of the work and describe its value.
The culture surrounding the Model T is that of innovation and creative solutions. The Model T
came into production at a time in America when automobile travel was thought to be too
expensive and unreliable. With the introduction of the Model T in 1908, it quickly became the
most affordable and mass-produced automobile in America. The Model T was an engineering
marvel as it was much more affordable for American families and much more reliable and safer
than the alternatives. Offering generous ground clearance, the Model T was perfectly suited to
handle the bumpy conditions of the roadways. This ground clearance made the Model T more
appealing to rural drivers.
